🎙️ Podcast Episode: “How Often Should I Test My GFCI Outlets?” ⚡🧰

GFCI outlets are your home’s first line of defense against electrical shock — but only if they’re working properly! 💧⚡ In this episode, we’ll explain how often you should test your GFCI outlets, the right way to do it, and what the test and reset buttons actually mean. 🏠🔘

Learn how regular testing can prevent dangerous situations, protect your family, and ensure your home’s electrical system stays safe and reliable.

🎧 Tune in for quick, practical advice from the pros — because a 30-second test could save a life! 🙌

Manufacturers recommend testing GFCIs monthly, but most people don’t. Over time GFCIs can lose accuracy—typically remaining reliable for about 10–15 years.

Special testers measure whether the device trips at the correct milliamp level; like brake pads, GFCIs wear down and may trip more slowly as they age. Many home inspectors don’t perform this testing, so if you’re concerned about safety it’s wise to have your GFCIs professionally tested.

🎧 Tune in now to learn more about your home's electrical system.
